Steam injection press for Weyerhaeuser
LSL – second generation of OSB
competence
In 1990 Weyerhaeuser LSL in Deerwood,
Minnesota, ordered the second generation
in OSB know-how. Following the multi-
daylight press, Siempelkamp introduced
the steam injection press to the market
which would apply steam and heat to the
mat. Due to its moisture content and temperature,
the injected steam causes the
bonding agent to cure. the 8 x 35’ singledaylight
press for Weyerhaeuser was built
for processing aspen wood. In the United
States, the OSB panels produced on these
steam injection presses are typically used
for frames and framework in house construction.
